There are a lot of good ones out there. I think when it all comes down to it, Anne Shirley and Gilbert Blythe still have the most special place in my heart.

I love the struggles and challenges they faced in coming together, but that once they were a couple, they were simply magic together. Watching them over the years throughout the length of the series and then again from the perspective of their children was a beautiful thing. I'm pretty sure they fit the definition of the perfect couple, in my mind. ♥(less)

I love the idea of wrapping this whole series into one set. IA is such a fast moving series that it makes sense to have each book ready to begin as soon as the previous one is finished. No waiting needed! Perfect for an impatient reader like me.

IA: II love the idea of wrapping this whole series into one set. IA is such a fast moving series that it makes sense to have each book ready to begin as soon as the previous one is finished. No waiting needed! Perfect for an impatient reader like me.

IA: Initiate launches right into a complex and vivid story I didn’t see coming. It sets the stage and definitely got me hooked from the start. Despite the fact that it is set in an environment that is mysterious, uncomfortable and, at times, unpleasant and scary, the story and the characters carried me through in a way that wouldn’t let me put the book down. The chess scene was likely my favourite, sending my mind sifting through every detail I’d read so far in the book, trying to see if I could figure it out early (I didn’t!).

IA: B.O.S.S. whipped by far too quickly. The pace of this book absolutely took off compared to Initiate. It picks up with Naz exactly where we left him and plunges us further into the mystery of his history, his super-powered skills, and the complex world in which he now lives. Yes, I admit that I was frustrated that I was always given only just enough information to feel like I was on to something and yet never enough to figure things out, but that’s exactly what made it so good! I felt like Iwas always on the cusp of learning the next part of Naz’ story, so I had to keep going to find out more. This book was definitely darker than the first, and more emotional at the same time.

IA: Invincible Assassin was my absolute favorite book in the series. This novella looked at a whole new side to this story. I never expected to become so attached to Harvis’ perspective, but I absolutely did! That said, the extra depth from his viewpoint brought a whole new side to this series. Suddenly, everything about Harvis from the first two books came together to mean a lot more. The story filled out with this novella. It was a stark change from seeing things through Naz’ perspective, but it was one that made me love this series even more.

IA: Union brought it all together. I think my head spun around a few times while I read this one as the past and the present rushed at each other full-tilt until finally colliding to bring this well-planned story together. It was a lot of fun to see how all the sub-plots I’d been watching came together. This book was exceptionally active and visual, playing out clearly in my mind as I read. Oddly, this was the book in which I felt the most distant from Naz and yet the most connected with him at the same time. The dialog stayed just as strong in this book as it did throughout the rest of the series, keeping the scenes, characters and relationships very real to me.

After a series this great, I’m looking forward to discovering what John Darryl Winston will publish next!...more

“Music had always had the ability to help ease my suffering. I sang a great deal at home. I sang to myself and to Lord Imery. Sometimes, I played the harp to accompany myself. Learning such a graceful instrument had filled my heart with pride. I loved the feeling of adding something beautiful to a room.

I looked down at my shaking hands. There were no melodies left in those withered fingers.”
